We have two male dogs, aged five and six years, and recently took in an eight-week-old male puppy from next door. The younger dog is following the puppy around, constantly panting, licking his penis, and has occasionally bitten the puppy. He has also started clicking his teeth, which he never did before. We found a kitten from the same home as the puppy dead in our garden, suspected to be killed by the younger dog. Is this behavior normal, and can our dog be aggressive towards the puppy? We are away from home for ten to twelve hours a day and cannot constantly watch them. Should we return the puppy to our neighbors?

My dog licked an area where RV & marine antifreeze had dripped (not regular car antifreeze). The ingredients in the antifreeze are ethyl alcohol, propylene glycol, water, dipotassium phosphate, colorant, and fragrance. What should I do?

My dog has one eye that he's scratching and keeps rolling back in his head. The eye is slightly swollen and only this eye is intermittently rolling to the right and up. The dog hasn't eaten for 1.5 days, but the scratching and eye rolling just started a few hours ago. What could be causing this and what should I do?

My 9-year-old female yellow lab has experienced facial swelling on her right side, causing her eye to partially swell shut. I noticed a broken off rear tooth with a black spot on it. Her gums are pink and smooth, with no indication of infection. She does not show any mouth pain and does not favor the other side of her mouth when chewing. Her breath smells the same as always. I took her to the vet 2 weeks ago and she was prescribed an antibiotic and an anti-inflammatory. The swelling went down quickly until I ran out of meds, so I am taking her back in tomorrow. The lump appears to be hard and not soft or spongy. Could it be an abscess tooth, and what is the treatment for it?
